He continues to write a weekly column for the small independent weekly the Hartford News, which is reprinted on his website at www.the40yearplan.com.

He is also the plaintiff in a high-profile civil rights lawsuit filed in the wake of his false arrest in January 2007 at then-Governor M. Jodi Rell's inaugural parade in Hartford. Krayeske v. Antuna, 07-cv-0827, continues to wind its way through Connecticut's Federal District Court after first being filed in May 2007.
